CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this quarterly report are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include statements relating to our plans, strategies and expectations, the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and our future financial results, near-term loan growth, net interest margin, mortgage banking profits, wealth management fees, expenses, asset quality, capital levels, continued earnings and liquidity. Forward looking statements are generally identifiable by use of the words "believe," "may," "will," "should," "could," "expect," "estimate," "intend," "anticipate," "project," "plan" or similar expressions. Forward looking statements are frequently based on assumptions that may or may not materialize and are subject to numerous uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or projected and which could materially and adversely affect our operating results, financial condition or prospects include, but are not limited to:

| ● | our asset quality and any loan charge-offs;

| ● | the composition of our loan portfolio;

| ● | time and effort necessary to resolve nonperforming assets and the loans modified or deferred as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic;

| ● | the length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the impact of the pandemic on our operations and the operations of our customers and the communities that we serve;

| ● | environmental liability associated with our lending activities;

| ● | the effects of the current low interest rate environment or changes in interest rates on our net interest income, net interest margin, our investments, and our loan originations, and our modeling estimates relating to interest rate changes;

| ● | our access to sources of liquidity and capital to address our liquidity needs;

| ● | our inability to receive dividends from our Banks, pay dividends to our common stockholders or satisfy obligations as they become due;

| ● | the effects of problems encountered by other financial institutions;

| ● | our ability to achieve organic loan and deposit growth and the composition of such growth;

| ● | our ability to attract and retain skilled employees or changes in our management personnel;

| ● | any failure or interruption of our information and communications systems;

| ● | our ability to identify and address cybersecurity risks;

| ● | the effects of the failure of any component of our business infrastructure provided by a third party;

| ● | our ability to keep pace with technological changes;

| ● | our ability to successfully develop and commercialize new or enhanced products and services;

| ● | current and future business, economic and market conditions in the United States generally or in Illinois in particular;

| ● | the geographic concentration of our operations in the State of Illinois;

| ● | our ability to effectively compete with other financial services companies and the effects of competition in the financial services industry on our business;

| ● | our ability to attract and retain customer deposits;

| ● | our ability to maintain our Banks’ reputations;

| ● | severe weather, natural disasters, pandemics, acts of war or terrorism or other external events;

| ● | possible impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets;

| ● | the impact of, and changes in applicable laws, regulations and accounting standards and policies;

| ● | our prior status as an S Corp;

| ● | possible changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies of, and other activities undertaken by, governments, agencies, central banks and similar organizations;

| ● | the effectiveness of our risk management and internal disclosure controls and procedures;

| ● | market perceptions associated with certain aspects of our business;

| ● | the one-time and incremental costs of operating as a standalone public company;

| ● | our ability to meet our obligations as a public company, including our obligations under Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley;

These risks and uncertainties, as well as the factors discussed under "Risk Factors," should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement in the future, or to reflect circumstances and events that occur after the date on which the forward-looking statement was made.

NOTE 1 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

HBT Financial, Inc. (the Company) is headquartered in Bloomington, Illinois and is the holding company for Heartland Bank and Trust Company (Heartland Bank) and State Bank of Lincoln. Heartland Bank and State Bank of Lincoln are collectively referred to as “the Banks”. The Banks provide a comprehensive suite of business, commercial, wealth management and retail banking products and services to individuals, businesses, and municipal entities throughout Central and Northeastern Illinois.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) interim reporting requirements. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP has been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 27, 2020.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The Company qualifies as an "emerging growth company" as defined by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act). The JOBS Act permits emerging growth companies an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards affecting public companies. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period until the Company is no longer an emerging growth company or until the Company chooses to affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period. As a result, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies.

Use of Estimates

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and the reported results of operations for the periods then ended.

Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and income taxes.

Income Taxes

Through October 10, 2019, the Company, with the consent of its then current stockholders, elected to be taxed under sections of federal and state income tax law as an "S Corporation" which provides that, in lieu of Company income taxes, except for state replacement taxes, the stockholders separately account for their pro rata shares of the Company’s items of income, deductions, losses and credits. As a result of this election, no income taxes, other than state replacement taxes, have been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. No provision has been made for any amounts which were advanced or paid as dividends to the stockholders to assist them in paying their personal taxes on the income from the Company.

​

Effective October 11, 2019, the Company voluntarily revoked its S Corporation status and became a taxable entity (C Corporation). As such, any periods prior to October 11, 2019 only reflect an effective state replacement tax rate.

The Company files consolidated federal and state income tax returns. The Company is no longer subject to federal income tax examinations for years prior to 2017 or state income tax examinations for years prior to 2016.

Unaudited Pro Forma Income Statement Information

The unaudited pro forma C Corp equivalent income tax expense information gives effect to the income tax expense had the Company been a C Corporation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The unaudited pro forma C Corp equivalent net income information, therefore, includes an adjustment for income tax expense as if the Company had been a C Corporation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

The unaudited pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share information is computed using the unaudited pro forma C Corp equivalent net income and weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. There were no dilutive instruments outstanding during 2019, therefore, the unaudited pro forma C Corp equivalent basic and diluted earnings per share amounts are the same.

Segment Reporting

The Company’s operations consist of one reportable segment called community banking. While the Company’s management monitors both bank subsidiaries’ operations and profitability separately, these subsidiaries have been aggregated into one reportable segment due to the similarities in products and services, customer base, operations, profitability measures, and economic characteristics.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the original cost over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but instead is subject to an annual impairment evaluation. The Company has selected December 31 as the date to perform the annual impairment test, and at December 31, 2019, the Company’s evaluation of goodwill indicated that goodwill was not impaired.

Due to the economic weakness resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company completed an evaluation of goodwill as of March 31, 2020 which indicated that goodwill was not impaired as of March 31, 2020. Further goodwill impairment evaluations, which may result in goodwill impairment, may be necessary if events or circumstance changes would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation without any impact on the reported amounts of net income or stockholders’ equity.

Subsequent Events

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential of recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on debt securities available-for-sale and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU 2016-13 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for years beginning after December 31, 2018, including interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this standard will have on the consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU simplifies measurement of goodwill and eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the ASU, a company should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The impairment charge is limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments in this update are effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 2 – SECURITIES

The carrying balances of the securities were as follows:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | June 30, | ​ | December 31,
​ |  | 2020 |  | 2019
​ | ​ | (dollars in thousands)

No readily determinable fair value | ​ | ​ | 1,552 | ​ | ​ | 1,148
Total securities | ​ | $ | 779,991 | ​ | $ | 685,270

​

The Company has elected to measure the equity securities with no readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes for identical or similar securities of the same issuer. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, there were no adjustments to the carrying balance of equity securities with no readily determinable fair value based on an observable price change of an identical investment. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the carrying balance of equity securities with no readily determinable fair value reflect cumulative downward adjustments based on observable price changes of $165,000. There have been no impairments or upward adjustments based on observable price changes to equity securities with no readily determinable fair value.

​

As of June 30, 2020, there were 9 debt securities in an unrealized loss position for a period of twelve months or more, and 28 debt securities in an unrealized loss position for a period of less than twelve months. These unrealized losses are primarily a result of fluctuations in market interest rates. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the debt securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analysts’ reports. Management believes that all declines in value of these debt securities are deemed to be temporary.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, all troubled debt restructurings were the result of a payment concession.

Of the troubled debt restructurings entered into during the last 12 months, there were none which had subsequent payment defaults during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. For purposes of this disclosure, the Company considers “default” to mean 90 days or more past due as to interest or principal or were on nonaccrual status subsequent to restructuring.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $8,387,000 and $9,315,000 of troubled debt restructurings, respectively.

NOTE 8 – SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

Five subsidiary business trusts of the Company have issued floating rate capital securities (“capital securities”) which are guaranteed by the Company.

The Company owns all of the outstanding stock of the five subsidiary business trusts. The trusts used the proceeds from the issuance of their capital securities to buy floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (“debentures”) issued by the Company. These debentures are the only assets of the trusts and the interest payments from the debentures finance the distributions paid on the capital securities. The debentures are unsecured and rank junior and subordinate in the right of payment to all senior debt of the Company.

The trusts are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.

The carrying value of subordinated debentures are summarized as follows:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ |  | June 30, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
​ | ​ | (dollars in thousands)
Heartland Bancorp, Inc. Capital Trust B | ​ | $ | 10,310 | ​ | $ | 10,310

FFBI Capital Trust I | ​ | ​ | 7,217 | ​ | ​ | 7,217
National Bancorp Statutory Trust I | ​ | ​ | 4,624 | ​ | ​ | 4,591
Total | ​ | $ | 37,616 | ​ | $ | 37,583

​

The National Bancorp Statutory Trust I debenture was assumed through a business combination and has a contractual obligation of $5,773,000.

The interest rates on the subordinated debentures are variable, reset quarterly, and are equal to the three-month LIBOR, as determined on the LIBOR Determination Date immediately preceding each Distribution Payment Date specific to each subordinated debenture, plus a fixed percentage. The interest rates and maturities of the subordinated debentures are summarized as follows:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | Interest Rate at | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Variable | ​ | June 30, | ​ | December 31, | ​ | Maturity

​

The distribution rate payable on the debentures is cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears. The Company has the right, subject to events in default, to defer payments of interest on the debentures at any time by extending the interest payment period for a period not exceeding 10 quarterly periods with respect to each deferral period, provided that no extension period may extend beyond the redemption or maturity date of the debentures. The capital securities are subject to mandatory redemption upon payment of the debentures and carry an interest rate identical to that of the related debenture. The debentures maturity dates may be shortened if certain conditions are met, or at any time within 90 days following the occurrence and continuation of certain changes in either tax treatment or the capital treatment of the debentures or the capital securities. If the debentures are redeemed before they mature, the redemption price will be the principal amount plus any accrued but unpaid interest. The Company has the right to terminate each Capital Trust and cause the debentures to be distributed to the holders of the capital securities in liquidation of such trusts.

Under current banking regulations, bank holding companies are allowed to include qualifying trust preferred securities in their Tier 1 Capital for regulatory capital purposes, subject to a 25% limitation to all core (Tier 1) capital elements, net of goodwill and other intangible assets less any associated deferred tax liability. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 100% of the trust preferred securities qualified as Tier 1 capital under the final rule adopted in March 2005.

​

NOTE 9 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Derivative financial instruments are negotiated contracts entered into by two issuing counterparties containing specific agreement terms, including the underlying instrument, amount, exercise price, and maturities. The derivatives accounting guidance requires that the Company recognize all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company may utilize interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position.

Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

The Company designated certain interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges on variable-rate borrowings. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedging instruments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.

The interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges are summarized as follows:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | June 30, 2020 | ​ | December 31, 2019

​

As of June 30, 2020, the interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges had contractual maturities between 2024 and 2025. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had cash pledged of $1,630,000 and $710,000, respectively, held on deposit at counterparties.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company had an interest rate swap contract with a notional amount of $10,000,000 designated as a cash flow hedge on variable-rate loans. Beginning April 1, 2019, this hedging relationship was no longer considered highly effective, and the Company discontinued hedge accounting. In accordance with hedge accounting guidance, the net unrealized gain associated with the discontinued hedging relationship, recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income, was reclassified into earnings through April 7, 2020, the period the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the effect of interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges on the consolidated statements of income are summarized as follows:

Interest Rate Swaps Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company may offer interest rate swap agreements to its commercial borrowers in connection with their risk management needs. The Company manages the risk associated with these contracts by entering into an equal and offsetting derivative with a third-party financial institution. While these interest rate swap agreements generally worked together as an economic interest rate hedge, the Company did not designate them for hedge accounting treatment. Consequently, changes in fair value of the corresponding derivative financial asset or liability were recorded as either a charge or credit to current earnings during the period in which the changes occurred.

The interest rate swap agreements not designated as hedging instruments are summarized as follows:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | June 30, 2020 | ​ | December 31, 2019

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $23,804,000 and $8,713,000, respectively, of debt securities pledged and held in safekeeping at the financial institution counterparty.

NOTE 12 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, requires unvested share-based payment awards that have non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings per share. The Company has granted restricted stock units that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents. Such restricted stock units are considered participating securities. As such, we have included these restricted stock units in the calculation of basic earnings per share and calculate basic earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.

Diluted earnings per share is computed using the treasury stock method and reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the Company’s outstanding restricted stock units were vested. For the three and six months end June 30, 2020, the restricted stock units were considered anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation of common stock equivalents. There were no restricted stock units outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

NOTE 14 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company has adopted the HBT Financial, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”). The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides for grants of (i) stock options, (ii) stock appreciation rights, (iii) restricted shares, (iv) restricted stock units, (v) performance awards, (vi) other share-based awards and (vi) other cash-based awards to eligible employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan is 1,820,000 shares.

The following is a summary of stock-based compensation expense (benefit) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

​

Restricted Stock Units

A restricted stock unit grants a participant the right to receive one share of common stock, following the completion of the requisite service period. Restricted stock units are classified as equity. Compensation cost is based on the Company’s stock price on the grant date and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for the entire award. Non-forfeitable dividend equivalents are paid on non-vested restricted stock units and are classified as dividends charged to retained earnings. If restricted stock units are subsequently forfeited, the non-forfeitable dividends related to the forfeited restricted stock units are reclassified to compensation cost in the period the forfeiture occurs.

On January 28, 2020, the Company granted 70,400 restricted stock units to certain key employees which vest in four equal annual installments beginning on February 1, 2021. On January 28, 2020, the Company also granted 2,750 restricted stock units to non-employee directors which vest on February 1, 2021. The total fair value of the restricted stock units granted on January 28, 2020 was $1,392,000, based on the grant date closing price of $19.03 per share.

On June 24, 2020, the Company also granted 550 restricted stock units to a non-employee director which vest on February 1, 2021. The total fair value of the restricted stock units granted on June 24, 2020 was $7,000, based on the grant date closing price of $12.71 per share.

​

As of June 30, 2020, unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock units was $1,236,000.

Stock Appreciation Rights

A stock appreciation right grants a participant the right to receive an amount of cash, the value of which equals the appreciation in the Company’s stock price between the grant date and the exercise date. Stock appreciation rights units are classified as liabilities. Prior to becoming a public entity, the liability was based on the intrinsic value of the stock appreciation rights, calculated using the grant date assigned value and an independent appraisal of the Company’s stock price that was subject to approval by the Board of Directors. Since becoming a public entity on October 11, 2019, the liability was based on an option-pricing model used to estimate the fair value of the stock appreciation rights. Compensation cost for unvested stock appreciation rights is recognized on a straight line basis over the vesting period of the entire award. The unvested stock appreciation rights vest in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date.

NOTE 15 – REGULATORY MATTERS

The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks (Basel III rules) became effective for the Company on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule, and fully phased in by January 1, 2019. As allowed under the Basel III rules, the Banks and Company elected to exclude accumulated other comprehensive income, including unrealized gains and losses on debt securities, in the computation of regulatory capital.

The ability of the Company to pay dividends to its stockholders is dependent upon the ability of the Banks to pay dividends to the Company. The Banks are subject to certain statutory and regulatory restrictions on the amount it may pay in dividends. Under the Basel III regulations, a capital conservation buffer calculation will phase in over five years which limits allowable bank dividends if regulatory capital ratios fall below specific thresholds. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the capital conservation buffer was 2.5%.

HBT Financial, Inc. (on a consolidated basis) and the Banks are each subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements of HBT Financial, Inc. and the Banks. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, HBT Financial, Inc. (on a consolidated basis) and the Banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Management believes, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, that HBT Financial, Inc. and the Banks each met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Investment Securities

When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of securities; such items are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For the Company’s securities where quoted prices are not available for identical securities in an active market, the Company determines fair value utilizing vendors who apply matrix pricing for similar bonds where no price is observable or may compile prices from various sources. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curve, volatility factors, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, current market and contractual prices for the underlying financial instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace. Fair values from these models are verified, where possible, against quoted market prices for recent trading activity of assets with similar characteristics to the security being valued. Such methods are generally classified as Level 2. However, when prices from independent sources vary, cannot be obtained or cannot be corroborated, a security is generally classified as Level 3. The change in fair value of debt securities available-for-sale is recorded through an adjustment to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The change in fair value of equity securities with readily determinable fair values is recorded through an adjustment to the consolidated statement of income.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest rate swap agreements are carried at fair value as determined by dealer valuation models. Based on the inputs used, the derivative financial instruments subjected to recurring fair value adjustments are classified as Level 2. For derivative financial instruments designated as a hedging instruments, the change in fair value is recorded through an adjustment to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. For derivative financial instruments not designated as a hedging instruments, the change in fair value is recorded through an adjustment to the consolidated statement of income.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The Company has elected to record its mortgage servicing rights at fair value. Mortgage servicing rights do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, the Company determines the fair value of mortgage servicing rights by estimating the fair value of the future cash flows associated with the mortgage loans being serviced as calculated by an independent third party. Key economic assumptions used in measuring the fair value of mortgage servicing rights include, but are not limited to, prepayment speeds and discount rates. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, mortgage servicing rights are classified as Level 3. The change in fair value is recorded through an adjustment to the consolidated statement of income.

Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis; however, they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as there is evidence of impairment or a change in the amount of previously recognized impairment.

The following tables present the balances of the assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

​

Loans Held for Sale

Mortgage loans originated and held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The Company obtains quotes or bids on these loans directly from purchasing financial institutions. Typically, these quotes include a premium on the sale and thus these quotes indicate fair value of the held for sale loans is greater than cost.

​

Collateral-Dependent Impaired Loans

In accordance with the provisions of the loan impairment guidance, impairment was measured for loans which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans is estimated based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan. Collateral-dependent impaired loans require classification in the fair value hierarchy. Impaired loans include loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria.

Bank Premises Held for Sale

Bank premises held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling costs, at the date classified as held for sale. Values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on appraisals and customized discounting criteria. The carrying value of bank premises held for sale is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis but is subject to fair value adjustments when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, less estimated selling costs.

Foreclosed Assets

Foreclosed assets are recorded at fair value based on property appraisals, less estimated selling costs, at the date of the transfer. Subsequent to the transfer, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling costs. Values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on appraisals and customized discounting criteria. The carrying value of foreclosed assets is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis but is subject to fair value adjustments when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, less estimated selling costs.

Collateral-Dependent Impaired Loans, Bank Premises Held for Sale, and Foreclosed Assets

The estimated fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans, bank premises held for sale, and foreclosed assets is based on the appraised fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell. Collateral-dependent impaired loans, bank premises held for sale, and foreclosed assets are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company considers the appraisal or a similar evaluation as the starting point for determining fair value and then considers other factors and events in the environment that may affect the fair value. Appraisals or a similar evaluation of the collateral underlying collateral-dependent loans and foreclosed assets are obtained at the time a loan is first considered impaired or a loan is transferred to foreclosed assets. Appraisals or a similar evaluation of bank premises held for sale are obtained when first classified as held for sale. Appraisals or similar evaluations are obtained subsequently as deemed necessary by management but at least annually on foreclosed assets and bank premises held for sale. Appraisals are reviewed for accuracy and consistency by management. Appraisals are performed by individuals selected from the list of approved appraisers maintained by management. The appraised values are reduced by estimated costs to sell. These discounts and estimates are developed by management by comparison to historical results.

Other Fair Value Methods

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures of its other financial instruments. There were no changes in the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

Interest-bearing Time Deposits with Banks

The carrying values of interest-bearing time deposits with banks approximate their fair values.

Restricted Stock

The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the FHLB.

Loans

The fair value estimation process for the loan portfolio uses an exit price concept and reflects discounts the Company believes are consistent with discounts in the market place. Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial and industrial, agricultural and farmland, commercial real estate - owner occupied, commercial real estate - non-owner occupied, multi-family, construction and land development, one-to-four family residential, and municipal, consumer, and other. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for similar maturities. The fair value analysis also includes other assumptions to estimate fair value, intended to approximate those a market participant would use in an orderly transaction, with adjustments for discount rates, interest rates, liquidity, and credit spreads, as appropriate.

​

Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

The fair values of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries are presumed to approximate carrying amounts.

Time Deposits

Fair values of certificates of deposit with stated maturities have been estimated using the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at rates currently offered for similar instruments. Time deposits also include public funds time deposits.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

The fair values of repurchase agreements with variable interest rates are presumed to approximate their recorded carrying amounts.

Subordinated Debentures

The fair values of subordinated debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on rates observed on recent debt issuances by other financial institutions.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Limitations

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair values have been estimated using data which management considered the best available and estimation methodologies deemed suitable for the pertinent category of financial instrument.

​

The Company estimated the fair value of lending related commitments as described in Note 17 to be immaterial based on limited interest rate exposure due to their variable nature, short-term commitment periods and termination clauses provided in the agreements.

NOTE 17 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Financial Instruments

The Banks are party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Banks’ exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Banks use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as they do for on-balance sheet instruments.

Such commitments and conditional obligations were as follows:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Contractual Amount
​ | ​ | June 30, | ​ | December 31,
​ |  | 2020 |  | 2019

Commitments to extend credit | ​ | $ | 536,489 | ​ | $ | 542,705
Standby letters of credit | ​ | ​ | 9,649 | ​ | ​ | 8,991

​

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Banks evaluate each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, by the Banks upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include real estate, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, and income-producing properties.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Banks to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support extensions of credit. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Banks secure the standby letters of credit with the same collateral used to secure the related loan.

Legal Contingencies

Various legal claims arise from time to time in the normal course of business which, in the opinion of management, will have no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

OVERVIEW

HBT Financial, Inc. is headquartered in Bloomington, Illinois and is the holding company for Heartland Bank and State Bank of Lincoln. The Banks provide a comprehensive suite of business, commercial, wealth management, and retail banking products and services to individuals, businesses, and municipal entities throughout Central and Northeastern Illinois through 63 branches. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had total assets of $3.5 billion, total loans of $2.3 billion, and total deposits of $3.0 billion. HBT Financial, Inc. is a longstanding Central Illinois company, with banking roots that can be traced back 100 years.

Market Area

We currently operate 60 full-service and three limited-service branch locations across 18 counties in Central and Northeastern Illinois.

FACTORS AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Economic Conditions

The Company's business and financial performance are affected by economic conditions generally in the United States and more directly in the Illinois markets where we primarily operate. The significant economic factors that are most relevant to our business and our financial performance include the general economic conditions in the U.S. and in the Company's markets, unemployment rates, real estate markets, and interest rates.

COVID-19 Response and Impact Overview

The Company has taken a number of steps to support our employees and customers while maintaining the health and safety of all involved, including, but not limited to:

| ● | Enabling work from home for many employees and social distancing for employees who need to report to the office;

| ● | Maintaining regular business hours at branches for drive-up services and the call center to serve customers while branch lobby service was closed;

| ● | Branch lobby service was reopened for all locations by July 13, 2020, except one location which was permanently closed and consolidated with an existing branch on June 30, 2020;

| ● | Offering loan payment modifications to customers experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19;

| ● | Waiving or refunding overdraft and ATM fees, as well as time deposit early withdrawal penalties, to customers experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19;

| ● | Participating in the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) with $184.2 million of PPP loans approved and funded to 2,245 businesses supporting approximately 24,000 employees in our communities during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

The Company operates primarily in Illinois which has established a five-phase reopening plan. Illinois entered Phase 4 of its reopening plan on June 26, 2020 which allows gatherings of 50 people or fewer, restaurants and bars to reopen for indoor dining at reduced capacity, and child care and schools to reopen under guidance from the Illinois Department of Public Health. Illinois is only likely to transition to Phase 5 of its reopening plan, a full reopening, when a vaccine or highly effective COVID-19 treatment is available. Illinois may return to Phase 3 if there is a resurgence in COVID-19 cases.

Although the Company has maintained business operations with appropriate social distancing procedures since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has caused significant economic disruption throughout the United States and the communities that we serve. While the length, duration and ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown at this time, it may adversely impact the businesses we serve and impair the ability of our customers to fulfill their contractual obligations to us. This could adversely affect our asset valuations, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, and the impacts may be material. In the second quarter of 2020, we experienced, and we may continue to experience, the following adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic:

| ● | Decrease in net interest income and net interest margin, as a result of the lower interest rate environment;

| ● | Increase in provision for loan losses due to deterioration in the loan portfolio’s credit quality, as a result of the economic slow-down caused by the COVID-19 pandemic;

| ● | Decrease in debit and credit card interchange income, as a result of a lower level of consumer activity and lower associated volume of debit and credit card transactions;

| ● | Decrease in service charge income on deposit accounts, such as overdraft fees, as a result of an increase in waived or refunded fees and federal economic stimulus payments received by customers;

| ● | Decrease in demand for loans, as a result of the economic slow-down caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Adverse impacts may also include valuation impairments on our goodwill, intangible assets, investment securities, loans, mortgage servicing rights, deferred tax assets or counter-party risk derivatives.

The Company’s executive management continues to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic. As of the date of this filing, we anticipate we will continue to take actions to support our customers in a manner consistent with the current guidance provided by federal banking regulatory authorities.

Interest Rates

Net interest income is our primary source of revenue. Net interest income equals the excess of interest income earned on interest earning assets (including discount accretion on purchased loans plus certain loan fees) over interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. The level of interest rates as well as the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities both impact net interest income. Net interest income is also influenced by both the pricing and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which, in turn, are impacted by external factors such as local economic conditions, competition for loans and deposits, the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve Board and market interest rates.

The cost of our deposits and short-term wholesale borrowings is largely based on short-term interest rates, which are primarily driven by the Federal Reserve Board’s actions. The yields generated by our loans and securities are typically driven by short-term and long-term interest rates, which are set by the market and, to some degree, by the Federal Reserve Board’s actions. The level of net interest income is therefore influenced by movements in such interest rates and the pace at which such movements occur. During 2019, overall market interest rates started to decline. The Federal Open Markets Committee lowered Federal Funds target rates for the first time in 11 years on July 31, 2019 and then again in September 2019 and October 2019, for a combined decrease of 75 basis points during 2019. In March 2020, the Federal Open Markets Committee lowered Federal Funds target rates twice, for a combined decrease of 150 basis points in response to the economic downturn related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We expect these rate cuts and potential increases in nonperforming loans as a result of the economic downturn related to the COVID-19 pandemic to continue to put downward pressure on our net interest margin. In general, we believe that rate increases will lead to improved net interest margins while rate decreases will result in lower net interest margins.

Credit Trends

We focus on originating loans with appropriate risk / reward profiles. We have a detailed loan policy that guides our overall loan origination philosophy and a well-established loan approval process that requires experienced credit officers to approve larger loan relationships. Although we believe our loan approval process and credit review process is a strength that allows us to maintain a high quality loan portfolio, we recognize that credit trends in the markets in which we operate and in our loan portfolio can materially impact our financial condition and performance and that these trends are primarily driven by the economic conditions in our markets. In addition, the economic slow-down caused by the COVID-19 pandemic may result in decreases in loan demand and increases in provision for loan losses due to increased net charge-offs and deterioration in the loan portfolio’s credit quality.

Competition

Our profitability and growth are affected by the highly competitive nature of the financial services industry. We compete with community banks in all our markets and, to a lesser extent, with money center banks, primarily in the Chicago MSA. Additionally, we compete with non-bank financial services companies and other financial institutions operating within the areas we serve. We compete by emphasizing personalized service and efficient decision-making tailored to individual needs. We do not rely on any individual, group, or entity for a material portion of our loans or our deposits. We continue to see increased competitive pressures on loan rates and terms and increased competition for deposits. Continued loan and deposit pricing pressure may affect our financial results in the future.

Regulatory Environment / Trends

We are subject to federal and state regulation and supervision, which continue to evolve as the legal and regulatory framework governing our operations continues to change. The current operating environment includes extensive regulation and supervision in areas such as consumer compliance, the BSA and anti-money laundering compliance, risk management and internal audit. We anticipate that this environment of extensive regulation and supervision will continue for the industry. As a result, changes in the regulatory environment may result in additional costs for additional compliance, risk management and audit personnel or professional fees associated with advisors and consultants.

FACTORS AFFECTING COMPARABILITY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

S Corp Status

Prior to the initial public offering, the Company, with the consent of its then current stockholders, elected to be taxed under sections of federal and state income tax law as an "S Corporation" which provides that, in lieu of Company income taxes, except for state replacement taxes, the stockholders separately account for their pro rata shares of the Company’s items of income, deductions, losses and credits. As a result of this election, no income taxes, other than state replacement taxes, had been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements prior to October 11, 2019.

Effective October 11, 2019, the Company voluntarily revoked its S Corporation status and became a taxable entity (C Corporation). As such, any periods prior to October 11, 2019 will only reflect an effective state replacement tax rate.

The following table illustrates the impact of being taxed as a C Corporation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

​

The C Corp equivalent effective tax rate reflects a federal income tax rate of 21% and state income tax rate of 9.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Public Company Costs

Following the completion of the initial public offering, the Company has incurred, and expects to continue to incur, additional costs associated with operating as a public company, hiring additional personnel, enhancing technology and expanding capabilities. The Company expects that these costs will include legal, regulatory, accounting, investor relations and other expenses that were not incurred as a private company. Sarbanes-Oxley and rules adopted by the SEC, the FDIC and national securities exchanges require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable as a private company.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, net income was $7.4 million decreasing by $7.2 million, or 49.2%, when compared to net income for the three months ended June 30, 2019, or a decrease of $3.7 million, or 33.3%, when compared to C Corp equivalent net income for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Net income declined primarily due to lower net interest income and higher provision for loan losses. Net interest income declined by $5.0 million, primarily as a result of a lower interest rate environment. Provision for loan losses increased by $1.8 million, primarily due to the economic weakness resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Partially offsetting these declines was a $1.5 million increase in gains on sale of mortgage loans attributable to a strong mortgage refinancing environment.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 to the six Months Ended June 30, 2019

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net income was $13.6 million decreasing by $19.7 million, or 59.1%, when compared to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019, or a decrease of $11.5 million, or 45.8%, when compared to C Corp equivalent net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Net income declined primarily due to lower net interest income and higher provision for loan losses. Net interest income declined by $8.8 million, primarily as a result of a lower interest rate environment. Provision for loan losses increased by $5.3 million, primarily due to the economic weakness resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income equals the excess of interest income (including discount accretion on acquired loans) plus fees earned on interest earning assets over interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate spread and net interest margin are utilized to measure and explain changes in net interest income. Interest rate spread is the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities that fund those assets. The net interest margin is expressed as the percentage of net interest income to average interest-earning assets. The net interest margin exceeds the interest rate spread because noninterest-bearing sources of funds, principally noninterest-bearing demand deposits and stockholders’ equity, also support interest-earning assets.

Table of Contents

The following tables sets forth average balances, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans are included in the computation of average balances but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees and costs, discounts and premiums, as well as purchase accounting adjustments that are accreted or amortized to interest income or expense.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table sets forth the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the major categories of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Information is provided for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with respect to changes attributable to changes in volume (i.e., changes in average balances multiplied by the prior-period average rate), and changes attributable to rate (i.e., changes in average rate multiplied by prior-period average balances). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both volume and rate that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $5.0 million, or 14.8%, to $28.9 million from $33.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease is primarily attributable to declines in benchmark interest rates, which drove lower yields on interest-earning assets. Partially offsetting this decline was an increase in loan balances and lower costs on deposit.

Net interest margin decreased as well to 3.49% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 4.36% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decline in the average yield on earnings assets, including approximately 15 basis points due to excess liquidity that was used to fund PPP loans and held in overnight funds at the Federal Reserve. The contribution of acquired loan discount accretion to net interest income declined to less than $0.1 million or less than 1 basis points of the net interest margin, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $0.4 million or 6 basis points of the net interest margin, for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $8.8 million, or 12.9%, to $59.6 million from $68.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease is primarily attributable to declines in benchmark interest rates, which drove lower yields on interest-earning assets. Partially offsetting this decline was a lower cost on deposits and an increase in balances of deposits with banks and loans.

Net interest margin decreased as well to 3.74% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 4.40% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decline in the average yield on earnings assets, including approximately 11 basis points due to excess liquidity that was used to fund PPP loans and held in overnight funds at the Federal Reserve, partially offset by an improvement in the cost and mix of deposits. The contribution of acquired loan discount accretion to net interest income declined to $0.4 million or 3 basis points of the net interest margin, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $1.8 million or 12 basis points of the net interest margin, for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

The quarterly net interest margins were as follows:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ |  | 2020 |  | 2019 |
Three months ended | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
March 31, |  | 4.00 | % | 4.44 | %
June 30, |  | 3.49 | ​ | 4.36 | ​
September 30, |  | — | ​ | 4.31 | ​
December 31, |  | — | ​ | 4.12 | ​

​

During 2019, overall market interest rates started to decline. The Federal Open Markets Committee lowered Federal Funds target rates for the first time in 11 years on July 31, 2019 and then again in September 2019 and October 2019, for a combined decrease of 75 basis points during 2019. In March 2020, the Federal Open Markets Committee lowered Federal Funds target rates twice, for a combined decrease of 150 basis points in response to recent economic downturn related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We expect these rate cuts and potential increases in nonperforming loans as a result of the economic downturn related to the COVID-19 pandemic to continue to put downward pressure on our net interest margin. In general, we believe that rate increases will lead to improved net interest margins while rate decreases will result in lower net interest margins.

Provision for Loan Losses

Provisions for loan losses are charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level we consider necessary to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. In determining the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers past and current loss experience, evaluations of collateral, current economic conditions, volume and type of lending, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay a loan and the levels of nonperforming and other classified loans. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or events change. We assess the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and make provisions for loan losses in order to maintain the allowance. The provision for loan losses is a function of the allowance for loan loss methodology we use to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for inherent loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted.

The deterioration of economic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, the communities that we serve. As a result, our provision for loan losses may increase, possibly materially, and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

The provision for loan losses was $3.6 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in provision for loan losses was primarily due to reserve build during the three months ended June 30, 2020 related to adjustments to qualitative factors to reflect the economic weakness resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

The provision for loan losses was $7.9 million and $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in provision for loan losses was primarily due to $7.0 million of reserve build during the six months ended June 30, 2020 related to adjustments to qualitative factors to reflect the economic weakness resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The remaining $0.9 million of the provision was primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in a specific reserve related to one credit offset by a decrease in specific reserves related to several other credits.

​

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

Total noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased by $0.7 million, or 9.7%, to $8.1 million from $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase is primarily attributable to higher a $1.5 million increase in gains on sale of mortgage loans attributable to a strong mortgage refinancing environment and a less negative mortgage servicing rights fair value adjustment. Partially offsetting these increases were a $0.8 million decrease in service charges on deposit accounts associated with lower overdraft incidences due to federal stimulus payments received by customers, and fee waivers offered to customers experiencing a financial hardship due to COVID-19.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

Total noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by $1.5 million, or 10.3%, to $13.3 million from $14.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease is primarily attributable to nonrecurring gains on sales of First Community Title Services, Inc. and HBT Insurance of $0.8 million and nonrecurring gains on sales of bank premises held for sale of $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Also contributing to lower noninterest income was a $0.7 million decrease in service charges on deposit accounts associated with lower overdraft incidences and fee waivers and a $0.6 million larger negative mortgage servicing rights fair value adjustment. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $1.5 million increase in gains on sale of mortgage loans attributable to a strong mortgage refinancing environment.

​

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

Total noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by $1.1 million, or 4.3%, to $23.5 million from $24.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease is primarily due to lower employee benefits expense driven by a lower charge related to the supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP). The SERP was terminated in June 2019 and liquidated in June 2020. During the period between termination and liquidation of the SERP, the SERP liability varied inversely with interest rates and resulted in charges of $0.6 million and $3.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The SERP liability will no longer affect earnings in periods subsequent to June 30, 2020. Partially offsetting this decrease were higher salaries and higher medical benefit expenses. Increased other noninterest expenses include higher legal and professional fees associated with public company costs not incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

Total noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $46.8 million, remaining relatively unchanged when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in salaries expense was mostly offset by a smaller charge related to the SERP which was terminated. The charge related to the termination of the SERP was $1.5 million and $3.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net of the effect of charges related to the termination of the SERP, the remaining $0.8 million increase in employee benefits expense was primarily related to higher medical benefit expenses.

Additionally, a reduction in employee count occurred as a result of the sale of First Community Title Services, Inc. and HBT Insurance during the first quarter of 2019. Salaries and employee benefits expenses for First Community Title Services, Inc. and HBT Insurance was $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. There was no salaries and employee benefits expenses for First Community Title Services, Inc. or HBT Insurance subsequent to March 31, 2019.

Income Taxes

Effective October 11, 2019, the Company voluntarily revoked its S Corporation status and became a taxable entity (C Corporation). As such, any periods prior to October 11, 2019 will only reflect an effective state replacement tax rate. For additional information, see “Factors Affecting Comparability of Financial Results: S Corp Status”.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

We recorded income tax expense of $2.5 million, or 25.0% effective tax rate, during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $0.3 million, or 2.0% effective tax rate, on a historical basis and $3.8 million, or 25.4% effective tax rate, on a pro forma C Corp equivalent basis during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The effective income tax rate was lower than the combined federal and state statutory rate of approximately 28.5% primarily due to tax exempt interest income. Relative to the pro forma C Corp equivalent effective tax rate, the effective income tax rate decreased primarily due to tax exempt interest income making up a larger portion of pre-tax net income during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

We recorded income tax expense of $4.5 million, or 24.8% effective tax rate, during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $0.5 million, or 1.5% effective tax rate, on a historical basis and $8.7 million, or 25.7% effective tax rate, on a pro forma C Corp equivalent basis during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The effective income tax rate was lower than the combined federal and state statutory rate of approximately 28.5% primarily due to tax exempt interest income. Relative to the pro forma C Corp equivalent effective tax rate, the effective income tax rate decreased primarily due to tax exempt interest income making up a larger portion of pre-tax net income during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Total assets were $3.50 billion at June 30, 2020, an increase of $256.6 million, or 7.9%, from December 31, 2019, which was primarily a result of an increase in total deposits. Loans, before allowance for loan losses increased $112.0 million, primarily due to the origination of PPP loans which totaled $178.0 million as of June 30, 2020. Debt securities increased $94.3 million, or 13.8%, from December 31, 2019, as a result of increased purchase activity to manage the increased balance of lower-yielding interest-bearing deposits with banks which increased $30.4 million, or 10.7%, from December 31, 2019. Loans held for sale increased $21.4 million, primarily due to a strong mortgage refinancing environment.

Total deposits were $3.02 billion at June 30, 2020, an increase of $238.3 million, or 8.6%, from December 31, 2019. This increase is primarily due to PPP loan proceeds received by commercial customers and federal economic stimulus received by retail customers.

Core deposits to total deposits remained very high at 99.2% at June 30, 2020 compared to 98.4% at December 31, 2019, as we managed our deposit portfolio to retain higher value core deposit relationships and maintain the lowest practicable cost of funds. The loan to deposit ratio was 75.5% at June 30, 2020, decreasing from 77.9% at December 31, 2019.

Loans, before allowance for loan losses increased by $112.0 million, or 5.2%, to $2.28 billion as of June 30, 2020 from $2.16 billion as of December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to PPP loan originations during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Partially offsetting this increase was a $21.5 million reduction in participation loan balances and a $39.8 million reduction in balances on existing business lines of credit.

Paycheck Protection Program Loans

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) established the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) which provides small businesses with funds to pay payroll costs, including benefits, and certain non-payroll costs such as mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. Administered by the SBA, program funds are provided to eligible businesses in the form of loans which may be fully forgiven when loan proceeds are used for payroll costs and allowable non-payroll costs. PPP loans are unsecured, have a two-year or five-year term, bear a fixed contractual interest rate of 1.00%, and are 100% guaranteed by the SBA.

Additionally, the SBA pays lenders fees for processing PPP loans, based on a set percentage of the loan amount. In accordance with ASC 310-20, Receivables: Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, these fees, along with direct origination costs are deferred and recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment of yield (included in taxable loan interest income). Recognition of net deferred origination fees are expected to be accelerated upon loan forgiveness or repayment prior to contractual maturity.

The following table summarizes PPP loans originated during the three months ended June 30, 2020, along with the origination fees received or expected from the SBA:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | Loan | ​ | Fee | ​ | Origination

Total | ​ | 2,245 | ​ | $ | 184,172 | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 7,540

​

As of June 30, 2020, PPP loans, net of deferred origination fees, were $178.0 million or 7.8% of loans, before allowance for loan losses. Net deferred origination fees on PPP loans totaled $6.2 million as of June 30, 2020. The deferred origination fees were reduced by $0.5 million of direct origination costs, primarily salaries and benefits costs, during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Net deferred origination fees on PPP loans of $0.9 million were recognized as taxable loan interest income during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming loans consist of all loans past due 90 days or more or on nonaccrual. Nonperforming assets consist of all nonperforming loans and foreclosed assets. Typically, loans are placed on nonaccrual when they reach 90 days past due, or when, in management’s opinion, there is reasonable doubt regarding the collection of the amounts due through the normal means of the borrower. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed from interest income. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are recognized in accordance with our significant accounting policies. Once a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the borrower must generally demonstrate at least six months of payment performance and we must believe that all remaining principal and interest is fully collectible, before the loan is eligible to return to accrual status. Management believes the Company’s lending practices and active approach to managing nonperforming assets has resulted in timely resolution of problem assets.

Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality are considered past due or delinquent when the contractual principal or interest due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement remains unpaid after the due date of the scheduled payment. However, these loans may be considered performing, even though they may be contractually past due, as any non-payment of contractual principal or interest is considered in the periodic re-estimation of expected cash flows and is included in the resulting recognition of current period loan loss provision or future period yield adjustments. The accrual of interest is discontinued on loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality if management can no longer estimate future cash flows on the loan. Therefore, interest revenue, through accretion of the difference between the carrying value of the loans and the expected cash flows, is being recognized on all loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality, except those management can no longer estimate future cash flows.

Total nonperforming assets decreased by $5.7 million, or 23.8%, to $18.4 million as of June 30, 2020 from $24.1 million as of December 31, 2019. The decline in nonperforming loans was primarily attributable to the pay-down or pay-off of several loans, and to a lesser extent, the transfer of a few loans to foreclosed assets.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

In general, if the Company grants a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) that involves either the absence of principal amortization or a material extension of an existing loan amortization period in excess of our underwriting standards, the loan will be placed on nonaccrual status. However, if a TDR is well secured by an abundance of collateral and the collectability of both interest and principal is probable, the loan may remain on accrual status. A nonaccrual TDR in full compliance with the payment requirements specified in the loan modification for at least six months may return to accrual status, if the collectability of both principal and interest is probable. All TDRs are individually evaluated for impairment.

The following table presents TDRs by loan category.

TDRs have remained a small portion of our loan portfolio as loan modifications to borrowers with deteriorating financial condition are generally offered only as part of an overall workout strategy to minimize losses to the Company. The $0.9 million reduction in TDR balances from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020 is primarily due to payments received and foreclosure on one TDR with a carrying balance of $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Risk Classification of Loans

Our policies, consistent with regulatory guidelines, provide for the classification of loans and other assets that are considered to be of lesser quality as pass-watch, substandard, doubtful, or loss.

A pass-watch loan is still considered a "pass" credit and is not a classified asset, but is a reflection of a borrower who exhibits credit weaknesses or downward trends warranting close attention and increased monitoring. These potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan. No loss of principal or interest is expected, and the borrower does not pose sufficient risk to warrant classification.

A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized as probable that the borrower will not pay principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms.

An asset classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted; such balances are promptly charged-off as required by applicable federal regulations.

Pass-watch loans increased $23.5 million, or 18.6% from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Additionally, substandard loans increased $20.4 million, or 28.2%, from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020. This downward credit migration was primarily due to current or emerging credit weaknesses exhibited by borrowers negatively impacted by the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Of the loans downgraded to pass-watch since December 31, 2019, loans with carrying balances of $32.2 million as of June 30, 2020 had received a short-term payment modification related to a COVID-19 financial hardship. Similarly, of the loans downgraded to substandard since December 31, 2019, loans with carrying balances of $9.4 million as of June 30, 2020 had received a short-term payment modification related to a COVID-19 financial hardship.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

Net charge-offs to average total loans before allowance for loan losses have remained low during each of the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. This ratio has remained low for several years, due primarily to the favorable economic conditions prior to the economic weakness resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and our continuous credit monitoring and collection efforts.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

Net charge-offs to average total loans before allowance for loan losses have remained low during each of the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. This ratio has remained low for several years, due primarily to the favorable economic conditions prior to the economic weakness resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and our continuous credit monitoring and collection efforts.

Management continues to focus on growing non-maturity deposits, through the Company’s relationship driven banking philosophy and community-focused marketing programs, and to deemphasize higher cost deposit categories, such as time deposits. Additionally, the Banks continue to add and improve ancillary convenience services tied to deposit accounts, such as mobile, remote deposits and peer-to-peer payments, to solidify deposit relationships.

The following tables set forth the distribution of average deposits, by account type:

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

The average balances of non-maturity deposits increased 10.9% from the three months ended June 30, 2019 to the three months ended June 30, 2020, with the increase primarily attributable to PPP loan proceeds received by commercial customers and federal economic stimulus received by retail customers. Partially offsetting the increase in non-maturity deposits was a 22.7% decline in the average balances of time deposits, which resulted in a 5.9% increase in average balances of total deposits from the three months ended June 30, 2019 to the three months ended June 30, 2020.

​

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

The average balances of non-maturity deposits increased 6.2% from the six months ended June 30, 2019 to the six months ended June 30, 2020, with the increase primarily attributable to PPP loan proceeds received by commercial customers and federal economic stimulus received by retail customers. Partially offsetting the increase in non-maturity deposits was a 21.9% decline in the average balances of time deposits, which resulted in a 2.0% increase in average balances of total deposits from the six months ended June 30, 2019 to the six months ended June 30, 2020.

​

IMPACT OF INFLATION

The consolidated financial statements and the related notes have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. GAAP generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation, if any, is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Unlike industrial companies, our assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature. As a result, changes in market interest rates have a greater impact on performance than the effects of inflation.

LIQUIDITY

Bank Liquidity

The overall objective of bank liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash funds to meet all financial commitments and to take advantage of investment opportunities. The Banks manage liquidity in order to meet deposit withdrawals on demand or at contractual maturity, to repay borrowings as they mature, and to fund new loans and investments as opportunities arise.

The Banks continuously monitor their liquidity positions to ensure that assets and liabilities are managed in a manner that will meet all of our short-term and long-term cash requirements. The Banks manage their liquidity position to meet the daily cash flow needs of clients, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return on investment objectives. The Banks also monitor liquidity requirements in light of interest rate trends, changes in the economy and the scheduled maturity and interest rate sensitivity of the investment and loan portfolios and deposits.

As part of the Banks' liquidity management strategy, the Banks are also focused on minimizing costs of liquidity and attempt to decrease these costs by promoting noninterest bearing and low-cost deposits and replacing higher cost funding including time deposits and borrowed funds. While the Banks do not control the types of deposit instruments our clients choose, those choices can be influenced with the rates and the deposit specials offered.

Additional sources of liquidity include unpledged securities, federal funds purchased, and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLB). Unpledged securities may be sold or pledged as collateral for borrowings to meet liquidity needs. Interest is charged at the prevailing market rate on federal funds purchased and FHLB borrowings. There were no outstanding federal funds purchased or FHLB borrowings at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Funds obtained from federal funds purchased and FHLB borrowings are used primarily to meet daily liquidity needs. The total amount of the remaining credit available to the Banks from the FHLB at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $335.7 million and $343.8 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2020, management believed adequate liquidity existed to meet all projected cash flow obligations of the Banks. As of June 30, 2020, the Banks had no material commitments for capital expenditures.

Holding Company Liquidity

The Company is a corporation separate and apart from the Banks and, therefore, it must provide for its own liquidity. The Company’s main source of funding is dividends declared and paid to it by the Banks. Statutory and regulatory limitations exist that affect the ability of the Banks to pay dividends to the Company. Management believes that these limitations will not impact the Company’s ability to meet its ongoing short-term cash obligations.

Due to state banking laws, neither Bank may declare dividends in any calendar year in an amount that would exceed the accumulated retained earnings of such Bank after giving effect to any unrecognized losses and bad debts without the prior approval of the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. In addition, dividends paid by a Bank to the Company would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause a Bank’s capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements. During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Banks paid $6.5 million and $11.7 million, in dividends to the Company, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Banks paid $10.9 million and $49.1 million, in dividends to the Company, respectively.

The liquidity needs of the Company on an unconsolidated basis consist primarily of operating expenses, dividends to stockholders and interest payments on the subordinated debentures. During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, holding company operating expenses consisted of interest expense of $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, and other operating expenses of $0.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, holding company operating expenses consisted of interest expense of $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and other operating expenses of $1.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, management was not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that had or were reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity.

As of June 30, 2020, management believed adequate liquidity existed to meet all projected cash flow obligations of the Company. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The overall objectives of capital management are to ensure the availability of sufficient capital to support loan, deposit and other asset and liability growth opportunities and to maintain capital to absorb unforeseen losses or write-downs that are inherent in the business risks associated with the banking industry. The Company seeks to balance the need for higher capital levels to address such unforeseen risks and the goal to achieve an adequate return on the capital invested by our stockholders.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Company and Banks are each subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements of the Company and the Banks.

In addition to meeting minimum capital requirements, the Company and the Banks must also maintain a “capital conservation buffer” to avoid becoming subject to restrictions on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to management. The capital conservation buffer requirement began phasing in on January 1, 2016 and became fully implemented on January 1, 2019 at 2.5% of risk-weighted assets.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company and the Banks met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject. As of those dates, the Banks were “well capitalized” under the regulatory prompt corrective action provisions.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As financial services providers, the Banks routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, unused lines of credit and commitments to sell loans. While these contractual obligations represent our future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process afforded to loans originated by the Banks. Although commitments to extend credit are considered while evaluating our allowance for loan losses, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no reserves for unfunded commitments. For additional information, see “Note 17 – Commitments and Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and other funding needs as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2020.

JOBS ACT ACCOUNTING ELECTION

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act permits us an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards affecting public companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period until we are no longer an emerging growth company or until we choose to affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The Company has established various accounting policies that govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United State of America in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Critical accounting estimates are those that are critical to the portrayal and understanding of the Company's financial condition and results of operations and require management to make assumptions that are difficult, subjective or complex. These estimates involve judgments, assumptions and uncertainties that are susceptible to change. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending on the severity of such changes, the possibility of a materially different financial condition or materially different results of operations is a reasonable likelihood. Further, changes in accounting standards could impact the Company's critical accounting estimates.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2020. For more information, please refer to “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2020.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. These measures include net interest income (tax-equivalent basis), net interest margin (tax-equivalent basis), efficiency ratio (tax-equivalent basis), tangible common equity, tangible assets, tangible common equity to tangible assets, tangible book value per share, originated loans and acquired loans and any ratios derived therefrom, core deposits, core deposits to total deposits, return on tangible common equity, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share – basic and diluted, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average stockholders’ equity, and adjusted return on average tangible common equity. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, together with the related GAAP financial measures, in its analysis of our performance and in making business decisions. The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a federal tax rate of 21% and state income tax rate of 9.5%.

Originated loans and acquired loans along with the related credit quality ratios such as net charge-offs to average loans, before allowance for loan losses (originated and acquired), nonperforming loans to loans, before allowance for loan losses (originated and acquired), and nonperforming assets to loans, before allowance for loan losses and foreclosed assets (originated and acquired) are non-GAAP financial measures. Originated loans represent loans initially originated by the Company and acquired loans that were refinanced using the Company’s underwriting criteria. Acquired loans represent loans originated under the underwriting criteria used by a bank that was acquired by Heartland Bank or State Bank of Lincoln. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with information regarding the credit quality of loans underwritten using the Company’s policies and procedures.

Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present these non-GAAP financial measures, and accordingly believes that providing these measures may be useful for peer comparison purposes. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP; nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that may be presented by other companies. See our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures appear below.

Adjusted return on average assets is calculated by dividing adjusted net income for a period by average assets for the period.

(1) | The Company has granted restricted stock units that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents. Such restricted stock units are considered participating securities. As such, we have included these restricted stock units in the calculation of basic earnings per share and calculate basic earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.

(2) | Restricted stock units were anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation of common stock equivalents during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. There were no restricted stock units outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

(3) | Reflects adjustment to our historical net income for each period to give effect to the C Corp equivalent provision for income tax for such period. No such adjustment is necessary for periods subsequent to 2019.

N/A Not applicable.

Adjusted earnings per share – basic is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated dividing the previously described adjusted net income allocated to common shares by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Adjusted earnings per share – diluted is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated dividing the previously described adjusted net income allocated to common shares by the weighted average common shares outstanding, including all dilutive potential shares. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors additional insights into operational performance of the Company.

Net interest income (tax-equivalent basis) and net interest margin (tax-equivalent basis) are non-GAAP financial measures that adjust for the tax-favored status of net interest income from loans and investments. We believe net interest income (tax-equivalent basis) and net interest margin (tax-equivalent basis) are the preferred industry measurement of net interest income, and these non-GAAP financial measures enhance comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our net interest income and net interest margin.

That is, the ratio is designed to reflect the percentage of one dollar which must be expended to generate that dollar of revenue. We calculate this ratio by dividing adjusted noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis.

​

Tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to tangible assets are non-GAAP financial measures generally used by investors to evaluate capital adequacy. We calculate: (i) tangible common equity as total stockholders’ equity less goodwill and core deposit intangible assets; (ii) tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and core deposit intangible assets, (iii) tangible common equity to tangible assets as the ratio of tangible common equity (as described in clause (i)) to tangible assets (as described in clause (ii)). The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is total stockholders’ equity to total assets.

Tangible book value per share is calculated as tangible common equity (as described in the previous paragraph) divided by shares of common stock outstanding. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is book value per share.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are important information useful in comparing our capital adequacy with the capital adequacy of other banking organizations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Managing risk is an essential part of successfully managing a financial institution. Our most prominent risk exposures are interest rate risk and credit risk. Interest rate risk is the potential reduction of net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. Credit risk is the risk of not collecting the interest and/or the principal balance of a loan or investment when it is due and is disclosed in detail above.

Interest Rate Risk

The most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk inherent in the normal course of lending and deposit-taking activities. Management believes that our ability to successfully respond to changes in interest rates will have a significant impact on our financial results. To that end, management actively monitors and manages our interest rate exposure.

The Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO), which is authorized by the Company’s board of directors, monitors our interest rate sensitivity and makes decisions relating to that process. The ALCO’s goal is to structure our asset/liability composition to maximize net interest income while managing interest rate risk so as to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income and capital in either a rising or declining interest rate environment. Profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A sudden and substantial change in interest rates may adversely impact our earnings because the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent or on the same basis.

We monitor the impact of changes in interest rates on our net interest income and economic value of equity, or EVE, using rate shock analysis. Net interest income simulations measure the short-term earnings exposure from changes in market rates of interest in a rigorous and explicit fashion. Our current financial position is combined with assumptions regarding future business to calculate net interest income under varying hypothetical rate scenarios. EVE measures our long-term earnings exposure from changes in market rates of interest. EVE is defined as the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities at a point in time. A decrease in EVE due to a specified rate change indicates a decline in the long-term earnings capacity of the balance sheet assuming that the rate change remains in effect over the life of the current balance sheet.

The following table sets forth, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the estimated impact on our EVE and net interest income of immediate changes in interest rates at the specified levels.

This data does not reflect any actions that we may undertake in response to changes in interest rates, such as changes in rates paid on certain deposit accounts based on local competitive factors or changes in earning assets mix, which could reduce the actual impact on EVE and net interest income, if any.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in EVE and net interest income requires that we make certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The EVE and net interest income table presented above assumes that the composition of our interest-rate-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and, accordingly, the data does not reflect any actions that we may undertake in response to changes in interest rates, such as changes in rates paid on certain deposit accounts based on local competitive factors. The table also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or the repricing characteristics of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the EVE and net interest income table provides an indication of our sensitivity to interest rate changes at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that borrowers or counterparties will be unable or unwilling to repay their obligations in accordance with the underlying contractual terms. We manage and control credit risk in the loan portfolio by adhering to well-defined underwriting criteria and account administration standards established by management. Our loan policy documents underwriting standards, approval levels, exposure limits and other limits or standards deemed necessary and prudent. Portfolio diversification at the borrower, industry, and product levels is actively managed to mitigate concentration risk. In addition, credit risk management also includes an independent loan review process that assesses compliance with loan policy, compliance with loan documentation standards, accuracy of the risk rating and overall credit quality of the loan portfolio.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other members of the Company’s senior management. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2020, the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is: (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are sometimes party to legal actions that are routine and incidental to our business. Management, in consultation with legal counsel, does not expect the ultimate disposition of any or a combination of these matters to have a material adverse effect on our assets, business, cash flow, condition (financial or otherwise), liquidity, prospects and results of operations. However, given the nature, scope and complexity of the extensive legal and regulatory landscape applicable to our business, including laws and regulations governing consumer protection, fair lending, fair labor, privacy, information security and anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws, we, like all banking organizations, are subject to heightened legal and regulatory compliance and litigation risk.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2020, except as described below.

The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting us, our business, employees, customers, counterparties and third-party service providers, and the ultimate extent of the impacts on our business, financial position, results of operations, liquidity and prospects is uncertain.

Coronavirus disease 2019, known as COVID-19, which has been identified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, is causing worldwide health concerns as well as significant economic disruption in the United States and globally. In March 2020, U.S. President Trump declared a public health and national emergency due to COVID-19, which resulted in mandatory stay-at-home orders in most U.S. states, including Illinois. The associated impacts have had, are currently having and may for some time continue to have a destabilizing and negative effect on U.S. and global financial and capital markets and have caused significant disruption in global, national and local economic and business activity.

Although the Banks have been deemed essential businesses and continue to currently operate and serve our customers, the ultimate extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business, cash flows, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, customer confidence, profitability and growth prospects will depend on continuing and future developments related to the virus, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic, and governmental, regulatory and private sector actions and responses taken to contain or prevent further spread. Continued deterioration in general business and economic conditions, including extended closure of non-essential businesses, further increases in unemployment rates, or turbulence in U.S. or global financial markets could adversely affect our revenues and the values of our assets and liabilities, reduce the availability of funding, lead to a tightening of credit, and further increase stock price volatility. These and other potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic could therefore materially and adversely affect our business, revenue, operations, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects. If the response and efforts to contain COVID-19 prove to be unsuccessful, any such material adverse effects may be exacerbated.

Due in large part to actions taken by the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates in response to the severe financial market reaction to the COVID-19 outbreak, market interest rates have declined significantly. We expect that these reductions in interest rates, especially if prolonged, will adversely affect our net interest income, margins and profitability. Our assets and liabilities may be significantly impacted by changes in interest rates.

Our business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of our customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. The spread of COVID-19 has and is likely to continue to disrupt the business, activities, and operations of our customers and, cause a decline in demand for our products and services, including loans and deposits, which may result in a significant decrease in business and could negatively impact our results of operations, our liquidity position, our growth strategy and our ability to make payments under our subordinated debenture obligations as they become due. Our financial results could also be impacted due to an inability of our customers to meet their loan commitments because of their losses associated with impacts of the virus, and could result in an increased risk of loan delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures, declining collateral values and a general inability of our borrowers to repay their loans. In addition, the financial and other information we receive from and about our customers that we rely on in extending or renewing credit and monitoring our loan portfolio may have changed significantly and no longer be accurate, which could affect our ability to timely and accurately manage our credit risk. Any or all of these factors could necessitate an increase in our allowance for loan losses, which would negatively impact our earnings and results of operations. Moreover, current and future governmental actions may temporarily require us to conduct business related to foreclosures, repossessions, payments, deferrals and other customer-related transactions differently, which may result in an increase in expenses and a decrease in net income.

Our workforce has been, and may continue to be, impacted by COVID-19. We are taking precautions to protect the safety and well-being of our employees and customers, including limiting requiring face coverings and appropriate social distancing, but no assurance can be given that our actions will be adequate or appropriate, nor can we predict the level of disruption which will occur to our employees’ ability to provide customer support and service over an extended period of time. The continued spread of the virus and social distancing mandate could also negatively impact the availability of key personnel and employee productivity, as well as the business and operations of third-party service providers who perform critical services for us, which could adversely impact our ability to deliver products and services to our customers and continue to grow our business, which could negatively affect our reputation. Our business continuity plan and the efforts we have taken to adapt our work and business to the current environment has resulted in and will continue to require us to incur increased expenses.

In addition, changes to statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies or practices as a result of, or in response to COVID-19, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways. President Trump has signed into law three economic stimulus packages, including the $2 trillion Coronavirus Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) on March 27, 2020, which, among other things, initiated the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). We assisted our customers in participating in the PPP, which was designed to help small businesses maintain their workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic. We understand that these loans are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government and believe the majority of these loans will be forgiven. However, in the event of a loss resulting from a default on a PPP loan or a determination by the SBA that there was a deficiency in the manner in which the PPP loan was originated or serviced by us, which may or may not be related to an ambiguity in the laws, rules or guidance regarding the operation of the PPP, the SBA may deny its liability under the guaranty, reduce the amount of the guaranty, or, if it has already been paid under the guaranty, seek recovery of any loss related to the deficiency from us.

Since the opening of the PPP, several larger banks have been subject to litigation regarding the process and procedures that such banks followed in accepting and processing applications for the PPP. We may be exposed to the risk of similar litigation, from both customers and non-customers that contacted the Banks regarding obtaining PPP loans with respect to the processes and procedures we used in processing applications for the PPP. If any such litigation is filed against us and is not resolved in a manner favorable to us, it may result in significant financial liability to us or adversely affect our reputation. In addition, litigation can be costly, regardless of outcome. Any financial liability, litigation costs or reputational damage caused by PPP-related litigation could have a material adverse impact on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
